Snorunt is based on a yukinko, a childlike spirit in Japanese mythology said to emerge when it snows, as well as the zashiki-warashi, a mischievous spirit from the folklore of Iwate Prefecture. It also seems to be a stylized version of a person wearing a yuki mino, a type of traditional winter wear from the snowy parts of Japan that consists of a conical snow-cloak made of straw. Generally, yukinko are depicted as small, elf-like creatures wearing yuki mino.

Snorunt is a combination of snow and runt (a smaller-than-average animal).

Yukiwarashi may be a combination of 雪 yuki (snow) and 座敷童子 zashiki warashi (a spiritual creature found in the folklore of Iwate Prefecture). It should be noted that 童子 warashi on its own is simply an archaic word for child.
